COIMBATORE — Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) President and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin traveled to the Periyar Arivulagam in Coimbatore on Tuesday, where he made a passionate appeal for the younger generation to deeply study and adopt the revolutionary tenets of social reformer Thanthai Periyar.
